I placed an order on Saturday for a iPhone 13, which our store has had none. Original date was beginning of November. It is now set to deliver to me tomorrow (just got that date today).
Nice! Did you order to the store or direct to your house? I don't have an Apple store anywhere close so mine is coming directly from Apple.
 
I made an order the 21st September. And it takes a while, all the way to the fall of October to get it - since it was delayed. I took the Golden one.

I didn't had any iPhone since iPhone 5s (still have it and in mint, along with the original cart and everything else that followed). So it will be interesting to see what has happened over these years.

I was so frustrated yesterday. I am in the apple upgrade program and normally pre-order but I couldn't for another reason this time. I have been checking almost every day and the model I'm looking for has not been available close by. Last night it became available and by the time I put my info in to check out, it was gone. This happened 12 times with two models that I am open to. It's unbelievable that when you add a device to your cart they don't hold it for you.
You need to save model in your cart you will be able to just refresh and open up the cart. That’s what I did.

If you’re in NYC Sierra Blue is available in 256GB and 512GB.

EDIT: Nevermind they both sold out. Was up for a good 20 minutes.

Picking up 2 256 Sierra Blue iPhone 13 Pro's at Best Buy in Portland, ME today! Ordered last night online. They seem to have several in Graphite as well! Everywhere else in Maine seems to be out! Funny that Best Buy has them but Apple doesn't.

In my state Apple stores have no online stock. Best Buy has online stock for in store pickup. I wonder if Apple is not listing in store stock so they have inventory for walk in customers.
 
Here’s my issue. I have a 13 pro ordered for mid November delivery. It is already tied to my T-Mobile account to take advantage of their subsidy deal. When I found a phine locally today (Upper West Side Apple Store NYC) and tried to buy it, it told me that my T-Mobile number was already associated with an order, and that I would have to cancel that order first in order to be able to make the new order. As I was contemplating doing just that, that phone disappeared. In the future when I see a phone available locally I don’t want to risk cancelling my current order to try to snag a phone for pick up. I suppose as of now if I lost both phones and had to make another order for delivery I’d only lose about a week or so. Advice? Thanks!

Can you use the Apple Upgrade Program if you find one at Best Buy?

In the situation with subsidy, it would be best if you just had kept the order for delivery. You are playing a risky game where if you do find one, you'd have to cancel the order and wait for it to reset. In that period of time you definitely would lose out. Now that you cancelled it, you'd have to redo it all and be back at the end of the line.

If you were paying full price for the phone, ordering online for delivery and to find one in stock at the apple store will work because you can cancel the online order once you secure one for in-store pick up, but that that's work for Device payment plan or iUP.

Do Best Buy phones come locked? I run dual sim.

I did keep the order for delivery in the end. Thanks!
 
If I find one at my local Apple Store and do online pick up, can I trade in store? I really don’t want to send it in, given the horror stories I’ve seen here.

Yes, you can. I believe they give you 14 days from pick up, to trade in your old phone in the store.
 
Looks like the Best Buy near me in Durham, NC (Southpoint) has gotten in several graphite & gold iPhone 13 Pro Maxs in along with graphite & sierra blue 13 Pros for all carriers.

People forget that there is a massive silicon chip shortage going on right now. I’m not surprised in the least that there are far fewer devices available at launch than in years past.
At the volumes Apple purchases during this time of the year, I’m sure they are further exacerbating the silicon chip shortage for many other OEMs. Meanwhile Apple should have a steady stream of products flowing even during the shortage.
 
Sweet, managed to finally grab a pickup of the iPhone 13 Pro 512GB Graphite after trying for a couple of days. Thanks to the guys who made the script!

I ordered a blue iPhone13 pm 512GB on 9/25 - initial expected shipping Oct 29 - Nov 19, then ordered AW Blue 45mm on 10/14. Both from T-mobile. Both will be delivered tomorrow 10/18 barring any mishaps with UPS.

There’s a slow trickle but Apple is pushing them out and supply chain is churning along albeit slowly for whatever reasons.
